About organization
HISTORY OF COCA-COLA
This story begins in Atlanta, Georgia on May 8, 1886, when a pharmacist called Dr. John
Smith Pemberton first mixed Coca-Cola in his back yard. This formula, which was made
from carbonated water, cane sugar syrup, caffeine, extracts of kola nuts and cola leaves,
was brought to the nearby Jacobs Pharmacy where it made its Debut as a soft drink the
same day, selling for only 5 cent. His bookkeeper named this drink Coca-Cola after the
first two ingredients and the same distinctive script he wrote it in is the same logo they
use To this day.
In January 1893 Coca-Cola was registered with the U.S. patent office. Later on in
1915 the Root glass company created the famous contour glass bottle for Coca-Cola
in 1915.
In 1917 Coca-Cola was found to be the worlds most recognized trademark with a
record of 3 million Cokes sold per day. Unfortunately, John Pemberton fell ill, and
did not live to see his products success
Sadly, in the first year of Cokes existence, Pemberton and his partner only made $50.
Pemberton sold two third of his business in 1888 to cover his losses and keep the
business afloat.

He died later that year, and Mr. Candler, an Atlanta druggist, purchased total interest
in Coca-Cola for an unbelievable $2,300 in 1891. In 1891,Candler and his brother
formed the Coca-Cola Company.
EARLY GROWTH
In 1893 Candler registered Coca-Cola as a patented trademark. He also responded to
growing concern over the dangers of cocaine by reducing the amount of coca in the
drink to a trace. However, he kept some coca extract in Coca-Cola so the name would
accurately describe the drink. Candler only had a patent on the name, and not the
drink syrup that is, the drinks base, containing all the ingredients minus carbonated
water. He figured that keeping the Coca in his formula would legally allow the
company to distinguish its drink from imitations. Other companies also produced
soda drink made with cola nut extract. In particular, the Pepsi-Cola Company would
become Coca-Cola Companys major competitor over the next few decades.
Candler also spent more than $11,000 on his first massive advertising campaign in
1892. The Coca-Cola logo appeared across the country painted as a mural on walls;
displayed on posters and soda such as calendars and drinking glasses. In addition,
Candler was the first person ever to use coupons to gain customers for a product. He
distributed flyers offering free soda fountain glasses of Coca-Cola to people visiting
his drugstore.
In 1894 the Coca-Cola Company opened its first Coke syrup production plant outside
of Atlanta, in Dallas Texa. That same year a candy storeowner in Vicksburg,
Mississippi installed bottling machines and produced the first bottled Coke. It had
previously been sold only at soda fountains. By 1895 the drink was sold in all U.S.
states and territories.
In 1899 lawyers Benjamin Thomas and Joseph Whitehead of Chattanooga,
Tennessee, bought the exclusive right to distribute Coke syrup to bottles throughout
most of the country for only on dollars, at the
8/9/2019 Dr sanjay bharti
11/35
time, Candler saw little profit in bottling and was more than willing to give up that
part of the business.
In 1915 the Root Glass Company created a couture glass bottle for Coke, its design
based on the curvature of a coca bean. This bottle design became a Coke trademark
worldwide. The same year, Candler retired
from the company, passing it on to his children and moving into polities. He was
elected mayor of Atlanta in 1916.
In 1919 the Candler family sold Coca-Cola to businessman Ernest Woodruff
of Columbus, Georgia, for $25 million. Woodruff son, Robert, was elected company
president in 1923. Robert Woodruff was a skilled marketer and he put more of the
companys resources into market research than manufacturing Coke.
WARTIME DEVELOPMENT
During World War II (1939-1945), Woodruff also boosted Cokes popular image in
the United States by pledging that his company would provide Coke to every U.S.
soldier. The company did not limit itself, however, to only doing business that would
increase its success in America. In the period leading up to the war, between 1930
and 1936, it had set up a division of the company in Germany, and it continued that
venture during the war. It recreated its image as a German company and allowed the
Germans to produce all but two, secret, Coca-Cola ingredients in their own factories.
In 1941 the German companys president, Max Keith, developed Fanta orange soda
using orange flavoring and all the German-made Coke ingredients. The Coca-Cola
Companys wartime efforts helped it expend its global market, often with the
economic support of the U.S. government.
By the end of the war in 1945, it had established 64 overseas bottling plants. The
same year the company registered a patent on Coca-Colas popular nickname, COKE.

POSTWAR GROWTH
In 1955 Robert Woodruff retired as the Coca-Cola Companys president. Candler and
Woodruff are remembered as the two most important figures in the companys early
growth, both for their contributions to the company and their considerable fortunes
donated to the city of Atlanta. After Woodruff departure, the company began to
diversify by producing new products, acquiring new business, and entering new
international markets.
In 1960 the Coca-Cola Company purchased the Minute Maid Corp. producer of fruit
juices and began offering Coke in cans. Between 1960 and 1963 it also launched four
new soft drink in the United States: Fanta, an orange soda; Sprite, a lemon-lime soda;
Diet Cola; Diet grapefruit-flavored soda. In 1964 the company acquired the Duncan
foods crop. In 1967, it created the Coca-Cola foods division by merging its Duncan
and Minute Maid operations.
In the late 1960s, Coca-Cola faced difficulties in some of its foreign markets.
When the company built a bottling plant in Israel at the outset of the Arab-Israel War, the
governments of all Arab League nations banned the production and sale of Coke. A year
later the company withdrew from its markets in India when that countrys government
requested that Coca-Cola reduces its equity in joint ventures to 40 percent. The company
refused to relinquish so much control over those operations.
In 1977 Coca-Cola began packaging Coke and other drinks in two-liter plastic
bottles. The popularity of these large bottles grew over time,
and their sales earned the company new project, primarily in small specialty and
convenience stores.In 1982 the company introduced Diet Coke, which soon becomes the best-selling diet
soft drink in the world.
Also in 1982, Coca-Cola purchased the motion-picture company, Columbia Picture
Industries, also know as Tri-star Pictures, for almost $700 million. Two year later, the
8/9/2019 Dr sanjay bharti
13/35
company sold off its Columbia holdings and other media acquisitions to Sony
Corporation for over $1.5 billion.
By 1984 Pepsi-Cola had gained on Cokes previous domination of the U.S. market to
the point that the two had almost equal sales. In an attempt to return marketdominance, the company attempted the first-ever reason of the original Coke recipe.
The American public largely rejected New Coke, and so the company quickly
returned to also producing the old recipe under the name Coca-Cola classic.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
In 1986 The COCA-COLA Company consolidated all of its no franchised U.S.
bottling operating as Coca-Cola Enterprise, Inc. The new company began acquiring
independent bottling companies, a venture that grew into the worlds largest bottle of
soft drinks by 1988, while Coca-Cola Enterprise distributes over half of all Coca-Cola
products in the United
States, small franchises businesses continue to bottle can and distribute the
companys drink worldwide.
In 1987 The Coca-Cola Company was fisted in the prestigious Dow Jones
Industrial Averages index of stock market performance. Its stock is traded on the New
York Stock Exchange. Coca Cola and Pepsi Company
products occupied nine of the top ten spots in the U.S. soft drink market in
themed-1990s.
Worldwide, Coca-Cola ranked first in soft drink sales, and the company earned
almost 80 percent of its profits from international sales.

RESEARCH METHODOLGY
What is research?
Research is a common language refers to a search of new knowledge. Research is scientific &
systematic search for pertinent information on a specific topic, infect research is an art of
scientific investigation.
What is methodology?
Research Methodology is a scientific way to solve research problem. It may be understood as a
science of studying how research is doing scientifically. In it we study various steps that are
generally adopted by researchers in studying their research problem. It is necessary for
researchers to know not only know research method techniques but also technology.
What is scope of Research Methodology?The scope of Research Methodology is wider than that of research methods.
The research problem consists of series of closely related activities. At times, the first step
determines the native of the last step to be undertaken. Why a research has been defined, what
data has been collected and what a particular methods have been adopted and a host of similar
other questions are usually answered when we talk of research methodology concerning a
research problem or study. The project is a study where focus is on the following points:
Research design:
A research design is defined, as the specification of methods and procedures for
acquiring the Information needed. It is a plant or organizing framework for doing the study and
collecting the data. Designing a research plan requires decisions all the data sources, research
approaches, Research instruments, sampling plan and contact methods.
Research design is mainly of following types: -
1. Exploratory research.2. Descriptive studies3. Casual studies
8/9/2019 Dr sanjay bharti
30/35
EXPLORATORY RESEARCH
The major purposes of exploratory studies are the identification of problems, the
more precise Formulation of problems and the formulations of new alternative courses of action.
The design of exploratory studies is characterized by a great amount of flexibility and ad-hoc
veracity.
DESCRIPTIVE STUDIES
Descriptive research in contrast to exploratory research is marked by the prior
formulation of specific research Questions. The investigator already knows a substantial
amount about the research problem. Perhaps as a Result of an exploratory study, before the
project is initiated. Descriptive research is also characterized by a Preplanned and structured
design.
CASUAL OR EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN
A casual design investigates the cause and effect relationships between two or more
variables. The hypothesis is tested and the experiment is done. There are following types of
casual designs:
I. After only designII. Before after designIII. Before after with control group designIV. Four groups, six studies designV. After only with control group design.VI. Consumer panel designVII. Exposit facto design

Area of study: The study is exclusively done in the area of marketing. It is a process requiring
care, sophistication, experience, business judgment, and imagination for which there can be no

procedure would require detailed information about the universe, which is not easily available
further, it being an exploratory research.

is preferred because of some limitation and the complexity of the random sampling. Area
sampling is used in combination with convenience sampling so as to collect the data from
different regions of the city and to increase reliability.
Sampling Size: The sampling size of the study is 100 users.
Method of the Sampling:
Probability Sampling
It is also known as random sampling. Here, every item of the universe has an equal chance or
probability of being chosen for sample.
Probability sampling may be taken inform of:

Simple Random Sampling
A simple random sample gives each member of the population an equal chance of being
chosen. It is not a haphazard sample as some people think! One way of achieving a simple
random sample is to number each element in the sampling frame (e.g. give everyone on the
Electoral register a number) and then use random numbers to select the required sample.
Random numbers can be obtained using your calculator, a spreadsheet, printed tables of random
numbers, or by the more traditional methods of drawing slips of paper from a hat, tossing coins
or rolling dice.
Systematic Random Sampling
This is random sampling with a system! From the sampling frame, a starting point is chosen at
random, and thereafter at regular intervals.
Stratified Random Sampling
With stratified random sampling, the population is first divided into a number of parts or 'strata'
according to some characteristic, chosen to be related to the major variables being studied. For
this survey, the variable of interest is the citizen's attitude to the redevelopment scheme, and the
stratification factor will be the values of the respondents' homes. This factor was chosen because
it seems reasonable to suppose that it will be related to people's attitudes
Cluster and area Sampling
Cluster sampling is a sampling technique used when "natural" groupings are evident in a
statistical population. It is often used in marketing research. In this technique, the total
population is divided into these groups (or clusters) and a sample of the groups is selected. Then
the required information is collected from the elements within each selected group. This may be
done for every element in these groups or a subsample of elements may be selected within each
of these groups.

Non Probability Sampling
It is also known as deliberate or purposive or judge mental sampling. In this type of sampling,
every item in the universe does not have an equal, chance of being included in a sample.
It is of following type:
Convenience Sampling
A convenience sample chooses the individuals that are easiest to reach or sampling that is done
easy. Convenience sampling does not represent the entire population so it is considered bias.
Quota Sampling
In quota sampling the selection of the sample is made by the interviewer, who has been givenquotas to fill from specified sub-groups of the population.
Judgment Sampling
The sampling technique used here in probability > Random Sampling.
The total sample size is 100 profiles.
Data Collection: - Data is collected from various customers through personal interaction.
Specific questionnaire is prepared for colleting data. Data is collected with mere interaction and
formal discussion with different respondents and we collect data in PEPSI & COKE and face to
face contact with the persons from whom theinformation is to be obtained (known as
informants). The interviewer asks them questions pertaining to the survey and collects the
desired information. Thus, the we collect data about the working conditions of the workers of
COKE; I worked at COKE contact the workers and obtain the information. The information
obtained is first hand or original in character.
